The United Way of Van Wert County allots funds called Community Impact Funding that is to be allocated to qualified applicants each year. Delphos Public Library was awarded $2,000 to be used for a Storywalk project at Stadium Park in Delphos. Collaborating with the City of Delphos and Delphos Chamber of Commerce, the Storywalk will provide early literacy learning, family engagement, and promote family and child together time. This should also inspire the community to visit the library and take advantage of their many resources, while developing early literacy skills.
